Moose Toys expanded its Latin American presence adding Mexico to a growing list of direct-to-retail markets.   Moose Toys entered the region in 2003 when it engaged a network of dedicated distributors to build relationships with retailers. The evolution to supply directly will expand the number of products available to the toymaker’s retail partners and consumers in 2025, including the new MrBeast Lab line of toys and collectibles, Moose Games, and more. Among the newly available toys appearing at retailers in Mexico in early 2025 is the recently launched MrBeast Lab line, co-created with the YouTuber and philanthropist MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson.   To support growth in the market, Moose is in the process of signing a local media agency to help spread awareness of its toy lines across the region. Moose Toys' transition to direct-to-retail in Mexico will commence in the first quarter of 2025. #toys #toyindustry #pressrelease #news

The best performer in Europe so far this year, and the only country in growth, is the Netherlands. This territory is growing in value terms by +6% compared to last year, though it is also the third smallest country in value size and makes up around 6% of the European of the European toy market. When looking at supercategory trends, there are many smilarities with other European countries. But also two big differences - The Netherlands is the only country where the Action Figures and Infant /Toddler & Pre-School Toys categories are growing. The top property in Action Figures - growing at +16% -is Funko Pop! There is also strong growth from Super Mario Bros, Pokemon and Smashers, and the growth from these properties is outperforming other European countries. In Infand/Toddler & Pre -School Toys, Little Dutch wooden toys are one of the top performers. The Netherlands is the key market for this brand, and it is adding value versus last year, outperforming many of the properties around it in this category. Paw Patrol is growing with double digit value growth too. And although there is growth in other countries , the trend in the Netherlands is the strongest across Europe. The other countries are all in decline, with Germany and the UK in the strongest decline at -7% for Germany and -5% for the UK. These two countries represent the largest the third largest markets, so these numbers are a significant contributor to the overall -4% figure for Europe. It will be interesting to keep an eye on the country trends as the year progresses, and there are potential factors that could influence some countries more than others. How will the Olympics in Paris impact sales in France? And could we see a new product arrive out of the blue to boost sales in one particular country? #toys #toyindustry #toynews
